She was giving me the stink-eye - stop pointing that thing at me! Definitely half Daxie although the photographs do not show that she has much longer legs and a shorter back, and she does not really look like a puppy any more, does she.
Thank you Chris - Tikki is a funny looking little girl, mostly Daxie but with longer legs, which those photographs do not show, a shorter back and a shorter head. Oh, and smaller ears which frequently fly outwards. She is currently on her back on the couch, playing with her small soft red ladybird - she loves her toys. Five months - oh how the time has flown. She is such a happy puppy although she always looks so serious. I do not regret for one minute having taken her at such a young age, as look how healthy she looks now. But Oh how I miss Pereg. And I did not have Baby Ziva long enough to get to know her, but Tikva? Evil though she can be, she quickly wormed herself into my heart.
Lovely photos Malka. What a sleek, shiny coat she has, and such a rich, warm colour. She is growing up so fast now.
@CaroleC - Tikva's dam had a very dull, very pale coat which I do not think was due to her rather large litter. I think it was due to the cheapest dog kibble she had been fed. Tikki, after I weaned her from puppy milk substitute I gave her human baby food and special puppy supplements. She is now fully raw fed [apart from a light cereal-type evening meal] but still has the puppy supplements, and now also supplements for skin and coat for small breeds. Just half a teaspoon of each with her second raw meat and vegetables meal. I think it is obvious to see that she is thriving, even though I was originally told she was too young to have been taken from her dam and siblings. After Pereg, and then poor Baby Ziva who I never really got to know, Tikva is now so much a part of me that I could never imagine life without her. Even though she can be a right little booga at times!
Such a beautiful girl. I hope you have many wonderful years together. Love from Steven and Angel Chip
Thank you Steven and Angel Chip. I just pray that The Monster never comes visiting to my Tikva - but as Tikva means Hope, that is all I can do. Take care Steven - we will not forget Chip. Much love from me and Tikva xx
